Setting a rescue device in the startup sequence

Before you start the Rescue and Recovery program from an internal hard disk drive, a disc, a USB hard disk drive, or other external devices, you must first make sure that your rescue device is set as the first boot device in the startup device sequence in the Setup Utility program. Refer to “Selecting a startup device” on page 23 for detailed information about temporarily or permanently changing the startup sequence.

Note: If you use an external device, you must first turn off your computer before connecting the external device.

For more information on the Setup Utility program, see Chapter 5, “Using the

Setup Utility,” on page 21.

Solving recovery problems

If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment, do one of the following:

vUse a rescue medium to start the Rescue and Recovery workspace. See “Creating and using rescue media” on page 43.

vUse a recovery repair diskette to repair the Rescue and Recovery workspace or repair a file needed to enter the Windows environment. See “Creating and using a recovery repair diskette” on page 44.

vUse a recovery medium if you want to restore the system drive or the hard disk drive to the factory default settings. See “Creating and using recovery media” on page 39.

Note: If you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery workspace or the Windows environment from a rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, or a recovery medium, you might not have the rescue device, diskette drive, or recovery device set as the first boot device in the startup device sequence. For more information, see “Setting a rescue device in the startup sequence.”

It is important to create a rescue medium, a recovery repair diskette, and a recovery medium as early as possible and store them in a safe place.
